So I'm trying to get three older D'anver hens to accept a young D'anver rooster. The older hens where with a rooster before but he died from being sick. So I'm trying to replace the rooster but the hens ain't having it by fighting him. I have a mixed flock who free ranges so I'm familiar with...
So I have a 10 month old sebrite that seems to be getting sick again. Already quarintined him and started the tylan and antibiotics in the water. I'm really curious on what to troubleshoot for the illness, same symptoms as before with sneezing and a weird cough like he's trying to crow. I have...
After overlooking and counting the amount of posts I have posted, I believe I have over 20 now. But for some reason I still can't place any wanted ads.
So I bought this hen about two months ago under the impression it was a black copper maran. But she is not laying the deep chocolate eggs that they lay. Instead she is laying a normal brown egg like my other hybrids. So could she be a black Orpington then?
So I'm open to any suggestions on how to stop my hens from picking my roosters tail feathers. He just came out of his molt and the only thing left to come back is his tail feathers. I looked him over and found that his tail feather shafts are covered in blood and the hens follow him around...
Weird breed I tell ya, picked four brown leghorns up about three months ago and were a bunch of spazes. Just the few past days two of the hens are now submitting to my rooster and laying everyday. The other two continue to run like there heads have been cut off. I have a mixed flock of different...
So I noticed my sex link hen this morning grabbing straw from the nesting box. She was standing outside of it and rubbing the straw on her back for a few seconds then dropping. Kept doing this repeatedly for a while. Wonder what that was all about.
So I have a older game fowl/bull stag rooster who recently molted. All his beautiful colors have come back except his tail feathers. I recently checked him for lice and dusted him for parasites. When I look at his rear end for tail feathers, I see the shafts but blood is either dried up or still...
So I have a Golden sex link hen who just made a turn for the better while being sick. Now there seems to be a problem with her right foot. She tip toes around on it but won't lay it flat on ground to walk. I attached a pic in hopes somebody might be able to diagnose it for me.
So I have a older barred rock hen that is being attacked by my rooster. I recently let her back out after being quarintined for a week. Funny thing is before she was seperated my rooster was fine. Now that she is back out he constantly beats on her even after she submits to him. She was also...
So I wanted to get some feedback on cures for respritory illness. I have a large flock of birds and just recently my Americauna and RIR started gurgling and sneezing. What are the best meds and applications to use for a cure and should the birds be quarantined. Lastly what about the eggs, are...

Was curious to know if anyone has breed golden sex links with other breeds. I have a 9 day old chick that is turning out with a beautiful pattern. Dad is a bull stag rooster/game fowl rooster, so I'm waiting to see what the baby chick will grow up to be. I'll attach some pics of the baby chick...
